I'e steadily moved through some tutorials on SWX and modelled some of my own objects. I have a few questions for some of you out there that I hope you might be able to help me with: 1. Why, when I'm drawing a line do I not get the cursor changing to show inference with other sketches and can I...

I have a piece of tubing that i want to replicate in solidworks using a thin sweep. However, it is a 'concertina' type of tubing i.e. when at full length is split into segments that compress together to halve the original size. The easiest way to describe it is like the body of a caterpillar...

I'm trying to create a spline that follows a radiate surface curve. WHen i open a sketch on a plane, select spline and sketch the spline using several points, i cannot seem to stop or end the spline as it disappears whenever i double-click or press esc. to complete it. Awaiting your response...

OK, I've surface radiated to the edges of the free form object, but i need the radiated surface area to be higher up on the freeform surface rather than connected to the edges. Is there any way of accomplishing this. I've tried using an offset of the radiated surface and then trimming that to...

I have just imported a 'free-form' object from Solid Designer into Solidworks +2001. It is symmetrical and has three sections on either side. It is free-form because I want it to appear as a squashable material. However, I want to divide the free-form object into two along the sections with a...

is there a "snap to" function that means that all lines drawn can be snapped to other lines without the need for constant zooming in and re-addressing the lengths, diameters etc of the shapes. I have tried the command in the tools/options/grid snap but this does not seem to snap to a...

I've just begun using solidworks 2001 after using ProE, Alias Studiotools and Autocad. After following the Solidworks tutorials (hinges, flashlights and mould tools)and modelling some objects of my own I repeatedly run into the same problem. When I get to the stage that i want to end a sketch...
